Drifting on the sea while his soul restored his body, Ferrudion quickly grew bored. And he hated boredom!

'If only our souls did not need stupid bodies to interact with the material...'

Just then the clouds above him parted and Ferrudion's gaze landed on this world's sun for the first time: the pure and blinding white circle was not as bright as the flaming orange star of his father's residence world nor as large as the beautiful blue illusion illuminating his mother's entire realm, but Ferrudion liked it.

The realization made him frown.

'It is just some youngstar in a lowly mortal realm. Why would I like it?!'

Still, he wondered... His soul should be large enough to reach out and envelop it, right?

'I wonder what that would feel like. Does it even have managy?'

A wave interrupted that line of thought. It was soon followed by another, rougher wave.

Realizing the conditions would make it difficult for him to drift, Ferrudion tried moving his arm and winced. The restoration process was ongoing and using it in its current half-restored state might further damage it. And yet he doubted the increasingly wild waters would allow him to float for much longer.

'Bother! Restoring my managy in this wasteland will take me months.'

Nonetheless, he loosened another tiny bunch of his managy and sent it outwards.

'Calm.'

He imbued one simple, clear thought into the managy and waited for it to do his bidding. Moments later the waves fell and left calm waters around him.

However, after only a few minutes, the calm started to crumble again; and so did Ferrudion's face.

'Who dares counter my managy?!'

In fact...

'The first time could have been an oversight, but aggravating the waters around me after I released my managy? How insolent!'

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Healing process or not, he needed to show whatever being had disturbed his space who they were messing with!

Extending his soul toward the water, he felt a little surprised when he encountered condensed managy. Was the water itself a being? For, if not compressed and bound to the body by a soul, managy would surely expand instead of staying concentrated in the water. Unless it were dissolved...

'But it is not. I can feel the tightly wound strands. This must be somebody. And that means, there must be a soul!'

He focused on the spiritual dimension and his soul sensed the enormous thing covering the water. It was nowhere as dense, extensive, and impressive as his soul, of course.

'One more millennium or two and this thing might even become a lesser god. It should know better than to annoy a greater god.'

Touching its soul with his own, he expanded one less dense part of it outward and drove it into the other soul like a spike.

The other soul recoiled and he felt a wave of horror extend out from it.

『“What are you? Why are you attacking me?!”』

『“Did you not see me? I've been here for ages, duh.”』

There was a pause.

'Is this splashy ignoring me?'

『“If I paid attention to every little thing in, on, and underneath me, I would go insane.”』

『“There are that many beings around you? Must be nice.”』

Another pause.

『“Will you not tell me where you are, who you are, or why you attacked me, please?”』

『“Mate, how can you not see my awesome soul even after I poked you with it?”』

『“Of course, I see your soul, but where is your body? I should have noticed somebody as large as yourself.”』

Ferrudion frowned. This being must be a newborn.

'Why would it think that the size of the soul had anything to do with the size of the body?'

『“Stop pretending, mate. I am currently resting on your body, so I need you to stop with those annoying waves!”』

He felt an intense sense of disbelief radiating of the other soul.

『“How?”』

『“What do you mean 'how'? Stop making waves and keep still, duh!”』

『“………”』

『“You don't want to mess with me, mortal, I am a greater god!”』

『“You attacked me because of waves?”』

『“Yes, duh!”』

『“For managy's sake, I do not make waves, little godling!”』

Ferrudion's face went red with fury for a moment before he managed to calm himself. A greater god had to act with dignity. Besides, if he destroyed this realm, his father would surely know.

『“Who are you calling a godling! I am the proper son of TWO greater gods and a greater god myself!”』

『“My apologies... But I do not make waves.”』

『“It is your body! Who else would be making waves?”』

『“… You are in my body, correct?”』

『“Are you saying someone else in your body used managy to make those waves?”』

『“What happened when you entered my body?”』

It took only moments for the water to explain the concept of waves as well as the basic mechanics of liquids to Ferrudion.

『“Then... Someone keeps punching you to make those waves?”』

『“No. There are all sorts of factors, but in your case, it's simple.”』

The water had finally located Ferrudion's comparatively tiny body.

『“There is a ship approaching you. At its current course, I estimate that it will hit you in one-ninth of a day.”』

Judging by the size of the sun, one day should be twenty-seven hours.

'A ship?'
